Alcoholic drinks ban during upcoming elections

Saturday, February 2, 2013

On Sunday 17th February Ecuadorians will head to the polls for
presidential and legislative elections. A "dry law" goes into
effect from midday on Friday 15th February until midday on Monday
18th. This measure prohibits businesses in Ecuador from selling
alcohol during this period.

This ban does not apply to people on board ships, but does apply
to everyone else.
